A retrif1ed Salmon.

Henry Benson, of Hayden Hill, I.assen
county, Cal, has in his possession speci-
men Of petrified salmon. The former
feshy part resembles crystaiized and va
riegated quartz, retaining in part the vel
lowish color Of the salmon, and what was
formerly the skin Of the fish is now a sort
Of porcelain or white flint. The entire
specimen is Of the very hardest quartz in
texture. II was found on a hillside at
about 1900 feet altitude from tn. floor of
Big Valley, and evidently petrifieti at that
point This would indicate that salmon
inhabited the ancient rivers. the beds of
which now form the stratas Of the Sierra
Nevada mountains, and in which ancient
channels lie the rich deposits Of Califor-
MAS gold
These ancient river beds. ne is well
known, are found at various heights above
the sea level. and in some places but a
few hundred feet below the crest of the
range, and perhaps hundreds Of feet be-
meath the solid formation of mother earth,
and running entirely independent OF any
present surface formation. To determine
with certainty that salmon inhabited
these ancient rivers would be an interest
ing fact, rs it would fix at much later
date than is now generally supposed the
geological perioti when, by mighty up-
heaval, these old river courses were
changed and oblitera.ed from the face OF
the earth. Record Union.

II New York had one tenth as many
deaths from any disease that comes under
the head Of pestilencc, and typhoid fever
seems to belong there, as 1t does from
pneumonia, it would be wildly panic
stricken and every Gothamite who could
get away would be on the run. This
wholesale destroyer Is busy all the year
round, but chiefly, Of course, after the
cold weather begins. At the present time
it is doing its fatal work all over the city
and adding to the death list every day.
The doctors are very little more success
ful in treating it than they were twenty
or thirty years ago, when 1t was called
either inflammation Of the lungs or con-
Sestion OF the lungs. It probably is not
any more prevalent than II was then, but
we hear great deal more about il, any
way. The frequent mention of 1t in the
death notices would seem to Indicate that
nearly half The deaths in the winter are
caused by ii. Neither young nor old,
feeble or strong has any immunity from
it. Men apparently in the most robust
health are stricken down by IL almost in
stantly, and death frequently ensues
within forty eight hours. II the aged are
attacked by it fatal result Is almost
absolutely certain. Some OF the doctors
are now talking about q microbe that
they suppose To be at the bottom OF it,
but that does not seem to help them in
treating II. Microbe or no microbe, il
pursues its fatal course, sparinx neither
rich nor poor.-New York Cor. Detroit

Gen. Iitchel's "yIuIe Cunboaf."

He concluded that II was necessary for
him to have a gunboat with which to
patrol the river. No regular boat could
pass the shoals TO come far enough up the
Tennessee river for the purpose; besides.
II he asked the government for n cunboat
the war might end before he conld get it.
He found an oil mule ferryboat. This he
patched mp, and mounting a gun forward
set her afloat under the name of the
.'Gunboat Tennessee " There Is some
thing ludicrOus in tho military gravity
with which he gave his instructions to its
commander. When one considers the I'm
mense resources that were placed at the
disposal of other generals and tho make
shifts Of Mitchell, working with nothing
except what he could improvisc, there is
something more than ludicrous in this
order. 1t is pathetic:
"CAPTAIS: You are placed in command
OF the Gunboat Tennessee. now lying Mt
Whitesburg. You viii find one piece Of
artillery on board the boat. You will
take on hoard a crew Of armed river men
from your own company such rs you may
deem necessary. You are also authorized
10 take ON board volunteers from the de-
tachment Of the Fifteenth Kentucky, now
Mt Whitesburg. Go prepared for any
emergency TO work your boat should the
horses and mules be killed"
The Gunboat Tennessee did good ser
vice. Steam soon replaced the mules. and
the peculiar looking craft continued to
patrol the river TIL Gen. Mitchell left the
country.-Life Of .. NJ Mitchell, Astrono-
mer and General

Perseverance,. .. Important Factor.

- AoPOrteuS IoItofs
The editor Of The Industrial Gazette
has observed that the man who starts in
to do day's work. and attempts to do as
much In one hour as ought TO be done in
two, will usually find it necessary in q
short time to take rest, and while he II
resting will lose valuable time which he
evidently feels that he ought to make up.
judging from the spasDodic efforts he will
make when he starts In to work again.
But, at night, tho man who works steady,
but perseveringly, will be found to have
accomplished the most. while usually he
will also be found in q much better condi-
tion to commence again the next day.
So it is In business, One will seem to
hustle around and make considerable to
do over what he Is doing. and after
wasting his energies In accomplishing
what, by taking little more time, could
be done with very little effort. and then,
because, "a he thinks, he fails to meet tine
success he imagines he should, becomes
discouraged and ready to make change
to something else. This, in a majority Of
cases, proves q loss, and, in consequence,
he does not succeed Is the energy he dis
plays would seem to warrant Another
man, while he may not make great dis
play OF his energies at the start, will GO to
work more systematic, and will have
better opportunities TO economize, and il
many cases to manage better than when
he attempts 10 rush matters. II he will
but observe, he will be ready to take ad-
vantage Of any favorable circumstances
that may arise. 1t always seems that the
man who Is constantly shifting about ia
always making q change at the wrong
time, when y little perseverance would

Education Among the Chinese.

As people the Chinese males are better
educated than any other race Of people in
the world. Education 10 4 certain extent
is compulsory for all Chinese males.
although the mass cannot 90 much more
than read and write; still to that extent
they are all educated. Ii has been the
policy of the Chinese government for
hundreds of years to select q certain mum
Der of boys from each district and educate
them for historians and writers. Their
work is never completed, for as long as
they live and are able TO do anything they
continue to study and write. Every five
years they pass an examination, and, nc
corGing 70 their proficiency, they are pro-
NOTED TO office or rank. As a rule no
Chinese can hope TO attain prominence in
any civil or military Office pertaining TO
the government unless he has succeeded
as scholar, for the Chinese believe no
man can succeed as scholar unless he
has ability, and il he possesses ability,
why then, rs u matter OF course, he is a
suitable person to hold office; but no mat
ter how high the Office may be, he must
continue his studies, the duties Of his
office being generally performed by a
deputy.-San Francisco Cor. Chicago

we are sure that there Is nothing illogical
or impossible In our wish. A happy year
is within the reach of all-whether they
live In novels or palaces. or even in prisons.
Harper may be happy In the Ohio peniten-
tiary. II, instead of dsvisinE means in his
cell, CT place Of work, 70 acquire wealth
again. when his term of service has expired.
he will begin at the moral foundations of
things, turn over new leaf so that II will
stay. and begin . new and honest life.
With new and great purpose to do right,
henceforth, and be straight and righteous
man. now and In the future. there is no
reason why the prison cell may not become
. happier place than the throne Of any mon
arch that lives. 1t is not exterior influences
but the interior light and glory that make
men happy. II this is true as to Harper
and its truth cannot be successfully contro-
vsrted-the way Of happiness Is an open.
bread highway to all ether men. The ele-
ments Of felicity are within us-or may he
put within us-and they are In easy reach.
They are as free a the cir and frser than

tied in supply. and II everybody does not
have the happy New Year We wish them.
